Thinking of getting from Ektron to WordPress? 

 

CMS2CMS: Ektron to WordPress Migration Plugin  

is an answer to the problem.   

 

 

 

One of the crucial questions in web designing and development is choosing the right                           tool to settle the web project on. WordPress has leapfrogged ahead of Ektron in a                             number of issues and not for nothing is currently considered to be the lord of the                               CMS market. Its popularity keeps growing rapidly over the last few decades, with                         many users insisting that hardly any other CMS option comes close to it. 

 

Providing all the necessary tools to create eye­catching websites and make those                       websites run successfully, Ektron has earned the love and loyalty of thousands of                         users all over the globe. Despite all the benefits associated with Ektron, the platform                           has some limits though (not open­source, poor documentation and support) that                     make lots of users hesitate whether to stick with the platform. WordPress,                       alternatively, has proved itself as a versatile and all­encompassing solution capable                     to fulfill the expectations of coders and non­coders alike. The following are the issues                           

where WordPress has an edge over           Ektron: 

 

1. It’s the most popular CMS solution in               the world. WordPress currently rules the           web powering more than 80 millions of             websites at the web. 

 

2. It’s open­source. There are no cost associated with downloading, installing, and                       upgrading the platform. 

3. It’s highly customizable. With a gazillion of plugins (about 20.000) it is possible                           to add any extra functionality to a website. 

 

4. Designed for anyone, not just developers. The platform serves a good option                         for both average users and experts alike. 

 

5. Lower setup and maintenance cost. WordPress incurs less setup,                   customization, and maintenance cost in comparison to other open source CMS                     solutions. 

 

As soon as you’ve made the right choice to leave Ektron in favor of WordPress – a                                 number of critical issues should be considered about the content. Needless to say                         that it would be a great mistake to leave the content behind and to rebuild a website                                 from the scratch.
